Are we gonna do a Durand in the Spring?
Anybody going to do a Durand gathering in April or May? I was hoping to do something between the 6th and 13th of April, so I could do a 24 hour thing. I hope I'm not stomping on somebodies duty of picking a date.

Is it aloud to pitch a small tent, cause my truck does not have the conventual back seat to sleep in, anyways, the first weekend around the 6th, is Easter, so I think the 13th Firday, 14th Sat, 15th Sunday would be good dates, in the past it was on April 30th, ither way I plan on making a trip during that week.

I think the Durand get togethers are usually aimed for the end of April or the first half of May. Simply because the weather is better then and more people can be flexible with schedules. Like Charles, I'm focusing on my exams next week, and haven't given much thought to anything happening beyond about January 8. I would like to attend the Spring Durand meet if we have one, but I'll have to see whats up with end of school/work/and internship stuff then.

Durand Meet in the Spring
Yes, we will have a Durand Meet in the Spring. I have been organizing these events for 5 years now and usually as the time comes closer, a few months before, I get on railoradfan.com and michiganrailroads.com and begin to plan what date is the best for everyone. Usually our meet in the Spring is in May because April is usually a bit too cool. Look for my posts probably sometime in February/March. Thanks for asking!!!!

Midnight visitors to Durand were not uncommon. Back when the most of the action was around 2am-5am and there would be people there to watch. Their numbers are probably down now that most of the action takes place closer to sunrise and later.
I'd consider a polar bear gathering in Jan or Feb.
I'm defientely in for the spring gathering.
